This was great to learn & hear more. My mom has been going through the experience of finding the right hearing aids for her and I will say it’s tormenting. The technology has sure come a long was in the last few years when my dad first began wearing them. It will be fascinating to see the changes in the next 10 years as medical research really encounters the expanding need due to Baby Boomers.

I agree with Bryan that I am really interested to see where all of this technology is going. I’ve seen the videos of people, mostly children, getting the implants and seeing them hear for the first time. I wonder if one day something like that will be available in a smaller, hearing-aid, type package. Hopefully sooner than later.
